The Crooked House licensed under the terms of Public Domain
Built as a farmhouse way back in 1765, the Crooked House didn’t become crooked right away. During the late 1800s, nearby mining caused the land beneath to start gradually sinking. Now one side of the building is four feet lower than the other!
In the 1940s it was condemned as unsafe, but a local brewery saved it by using buttresses and girders to strengthen the framework.
The best part: this lopsided structure is actually a pub. Imagine how disoriented you’d be after a few stiff drinks!
